It must be said that, in this moment, Ye Guan’s performance completely stunned Little Tower!
It knew this little master was monstrous!
But it had not expected him to be monstrous to this degree!
Had he perfectly inherited the sword dao talent of the previous two Destinies?
Most importantly, choosing the invincible sword dao meant he could not lose!
Unless the opponent delivered a dimensional strike, for example, if a super powerhouse like Qingqiu suddenly descended and killed Ye Guan.
That kind of defeat was acceptable!
But apart from dimensional strikes, Ye Guan could not lose even once. Otherwise, his dao heart could easily be shattered!
Little Tower was shocked, helpless, and of course, happy!
Ye Guan had chosen such a formidable sword dao. In the end, it was still happy, but at the same time worried!
At this moment, the mysterious voice suddenly said, “Why is he only a half-step Sword Emperor?”
Little Tower said softly, “His sword dao belief and goal have formed. What he lacks now is a real battle, a battle that can solidify his goal and belief. Only then can he be considered a true Sword Emperor.”
As it spoke, it sighed softly. “The sword dao inheritance that Big Sister Destiny gave him has taken him directly from the second stage to the fourth stage! Sword dao belief!”
The mysterious voice was curious. “What is the third stage?”
Little Tower said softly, “Sword dao goal! Sword dao goal and sword dao belief are separate, but this fellow went ahead and completed them together! Ridiculous!”
The mysterious voice said softly, “Actually, I think the reason he suddenly made such a grand vow may be related to that previous battle!”
Little Tower asked, “What do you mean?”
The mysterious voice said, “You have been openly and subtly reminding him to rely on himself. Have you not noticed? This fellow truly has very strong self-respect! Therefore, in his earlier battle with Liu Bing, even at the risk of death, he refused to ask for your help or use the Path Sword!”
It paused, then added, “Little Tower, I know you mean well, but you must understand one thing. This fellow grew up in the Ye Clan. Though the Ye Clan treated him well, his parents have never been by his side! Your old master was free-range back then. How extreme was his personality? You should know best! And your little master, he also had a very hard time in his early days! However, because he had a younger sister, he had something to hold onto in his heart, so he did not become too extreme.”
Little Tower fell silent.
The mysterious voice continued, “When Little Jia’s body was destroyed earlier, this little one already had thoughts of seeking death! You should pay attention to this. Also, though he has never complained about his parents, that does not mean he harbours no resentment at all. Think about it. In your old master’s world at the beginning, was there even the concept of a father? Your little master needs no mention! He often had thoughts of patricide…”
Little Tower sighed softly.
The mysterious voice added, “What I mean is, we cannot only focus on his cultivation. We must also pay attention to this little fellow’s mental health! Especially regarding pressure. Do not keep pouring pressure on him. Occasionally, let him relax a bit. Do not give him so much pressure! After all, he is only seventeen!”
Little Tower said softly, “I understand!”
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly said excitedly, “Tower Lord, have I broken through?”
After a moment of silence, Little Tower smiled faintly. “Yes! Congratulations. You are now equivalent to a half-step Sword Emperor!”
Half-step Sword Emperor!
Hearing this, Ye Guan was stunned, then overjoyed. “Tower Lord, now that I am a half-step Sword Emperor, if placed in that Ye Clan family in the Guanxuan Universe, am I still an ant?”
Little Tower smiled faintly. “No longer! With your current strength, you may not be able to defeat them, but escaping is possible!”
Ye Guan was instantly thrilled!
At the same time, the pressure eased considerably!
Previously, every time he heard Tower Lord mention that Ye Clan, he felt immense pressure. A terrifying family that treated imperial-tier demonic beasts as mounts was truly horrifying!
But now, he was finally no longer an ant!
Ye Guan took a deep breath, then said seriously, “Tower Lord, I will continue to work hard! When I become stronger, I will charge into the Ye Clan and make them release my mother!”
Ye Clan: “???”
Little Tower smiled. “Keep going. I believe in you!”
Ye Guan blinked. “Tower Lord, you seem a bit different today!”
Little Tower said, “How so?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then shook his head. “I cannot quite put it into words!”
Little Tower smiled. “Then do not think too much. Cultivate well and bring your sword dao to invincibility!”
Ye Guan nodded and smiled. “Alright!”
With that, he withdrew his thoughts and looked around the field. At this moment, everyone was staring at him!
Just then, Ji Xuan suddenly grabbed Ye Guan’s arm. “Let us go!”
As she spoke, she pulled Ye Guan and ran into the distance!
In place, the crowd watched the backs of the two departing figures. Someone said softly, “He is Ye Guan, that Sword Immortal!”
Ye Guan!
Hearing this, everyone in the field was shocked!
Ye Guan’s fame in the Central Divine Continent was now extremely great, on par with Dongli Mo of the Undying Emperor Clan!
Then someone else said, “He seemed to have a breakthrough after contemplating that stele!”
Someone exclaimed in shock, “Could he really be a Great Sword Immortal?”
Great Sword Immortal!
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed!
If he truly was a Great Sword Immortal, that would be too terrifying!
…
On the other side.
Ji Xuan stopped after pulling Ye Guan some distance. She stared at him. “You broke through?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes!”
Ji Xuan asked again, “Great Sword Immortal?”
Ye Guan hesitated to speak.
Ji Xuan said calmly, “If it is difficult, you need not say!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “Miss Ji Xuan, I regard you as a friend, so I do not wish to hide it from you. Actually, I have already reached half-step Sword Emperor!”
Half-step Sword Emperor!
Ji Xuan’s eyes widened instantly. She said excitedly, “Really?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Ji Xuan immediately gave a thumbs up. “Impressive! You are truly impressive!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. Truthfully, this time he had not expected a breakthrough in sword dao either!
It could only be called a pleasant surprise!
Ji Xuan suddenly said, “You must hide your strength!”
Ye Guan looked at Ji Xuan. She said seriously, “This time you are competing for the Great Dao Fortune. It can be said to be extremely dangerous! If you do not hide your true strength, others will target you specifically. At that time, you will suffer!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand this principle!”
Hide one’s clumsiness!
Stay low-key!
Simply put, develop quietly!
Ji Xuan suddenly smiled. “I truly never expected you to be this powerful, directly becoming a half-step Sword Emperor!”
Ye Guan smiled. “I have you to thank for bringing me to that place. Otherwise, I would not have had this opportunity!”
Ji Xuan smiled, then said, “This is because you yourself have the ability. Look there. Many sword cultivators, but only you gained enlightenment!”
Enlightenment!
Ye Guan fell silent. He realised that in cultivation, comprehension was indeed very important!
However, he felt even more that one could not place everything on comprehension. One needed enlightenment, but also real combat!
Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.
Reading alone, studying to death, would only turn one into a bookworm!
One must also go out and see the world, because many truths of life are not found in books!
Cultivation was the same!
One could not rely solely on enlightenment. Real combat was needed. The two combined!
At this moment, Ji Xuan suddenly said, “This time, are you representing the Dao Gate in competing for the Great Dao Fortune?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Ji Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Would you consider switching forces? Forgive my bluntness, but the Dao Gate is too weak! If you encounter unfair treatment during the Great Dao Fortune contest, the Dao Gate cannot help you at all. But if you join a powerful force, like the Divine Clan or the Guanxuan Academy! Talent is important, but platform is also important!”
Ye Guan shook his head.
Upon arriving in the Central Divine Continent, no force had taken him in except the Dao Gate.
Though the Dao Gate was poor, he remembered this kindness!
After all, they had offered help in his hour of need!
As a person, one must not forget favours and betray righteousness.
As if thinking of something, Ye Guan looked at Ji Xuan, somewhat surprised. “As far as I know, your relationship with the Guanxuan Academy…”
Ji Xuan smiled. “I do have enmity with the Guanxuan Academy, but now I no longer hate them!”
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Why?”
Ji Xuan said calmly, “Those I hated have all been killed clean by me long ago!”
Ye Guan was stunned, then shook his head with a smile.
This girl was also a fierce one!
Ji Xuan smiled. “They certainly will not let me go now, but I do not care! I will compete for the Great Dao Fortune when the time comes. The academy has rules. Those competing for the Great Dao Fortune receive protection! When I participate, they will want to kill me but cannot touch me. They will surely be furious to death!”
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky. Immediately after, a voice rang out in the field. “I am afraid you will not have that chance!”
Hearing this, Ji Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly. “A powerhouse from the Guanxuan Academy!”
Ye Guan frowned. “Are top experts not forbidden from acting here?”
Ji Xuan rolled her eyes at Ye Guan. “The Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion wear the same trousers!”
Little Tower: “…”
Ji Xuan added, “You should leave quickly!”
Ye Guan looked at Ji Xuan. She smiled. “This is between me and them. Do not get involved!”
Ye Guan shook his head. “I will take you and escape. My speed is very fast!”
Very fast speed!
Ji Xuan blinked. Her face suddenly flushed slightly. Ye Guan directly moved his mind. A qi sword appeared before him and Ji Xuan.
Ye Guan stepped onto the sword, then said, “Come up!”
Ji Xuan stood directly in front of Ye Guan. With a thought, he controlled the sword and rose. The speed was extreme. In the blink of an eye, the two vanished at the horizon!
However, they had not gone far when a terrifying aura suddenly tore through space and blasted towards them!
Ji Xuan narrowed her eyes. She turned and threw a flying dagger!
Swish!
Space was directly torn open!
Boom!
At the end of the horizon, an explosive sound rang out. An elder retreated repeatedly!
Just then, a grey-robed elder suddenly appeared before Ye Guan and Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan looked at the grey-robed elder and said calmly, “Head of the Enforcement Court.”
Head of the Enforcement Court!
Hearing this, Ye Guan’s expression darkened!
A big shot had come!
Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan and smiled. “You go!”
Ye Guan shook his head.
Ji Xuan looked at him. “There is no need to provoke the Guanxuan Academy because of me. Understand?”
Ye Guan smiled. “If I leave, will you be disappointed?”
Ji Xuan nodded. “Yes! But I would understand!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “You could have chosen not to save me earlier, but you did! I think we should be friends now!”
Ji Xuan smiled. “Actually, back in the Sin Abyss, I already felt we were!”
At this moment, the Head of the Enforcement Court beside them suddenly said, “Can you two show some respect for me? Do I look like I have no presence? Are you so certain of me?”
Ye Guan looked at the Head of the Enforcement Court. He spread his palm. A qi sword shot into the sky, piercing the clouds!
“Sword Immortal!”
The Head of the Enforcement Court narrowed his eyes slightly!
Ye Guan stared at him. “Are you sure you can defeat the two of us combined?”
The Head of the Enforcement Court fell silent.
Ye Guan continued, “If you insist on fighting, the two of us can only be forced to kill you. Though we would be wanted by the Guanxuan Academy, you might die! If you die, the Guanxuan Academy would at most give you a grand burial and some compensation. Do you think it is worth it?”
The Head of the Enforcement Court looked at Ye Guan and said nothing.
Ye Guan said seriously, “If I were you, I would not risk my life. After all, we have no deep blood feud. It is completely not worth gambling with your life. Another day, gather people and come after us again. Would that not be better?”
Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan. Her eyes blinked repeatedly, lost in thought.
The Head of the Enforcement Court stared at Ye Guan for a moment, then said, “You have good talent and a sharp mind. Interested in joining our Guanxuan Academy? If you join, equipment is yours to take, beauties are yours to pursue!”
Ji Xuan’s brows furrowed!
This old fogey was even using the honey trap?
Ye Guan glanced at the Head of the Enforcement Court, then said, “The Miss Ji Xuan beside me is your mortal enemy!”
The Head of the Enforcement Court said solemnly, “Regarding this girl’s matter… Truthfully, I knew long ago it was a wrongful case. If you are willing to join the Guanxuan Academy, we can work together to overturn it for her. Rest assured, no matter how heaven-defying the person behind it is, together we can eliminate the evil and restore this girl’s innocence!”
He paused, then added, “You can both join!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Was this old man here to recruit them?
Just then, Ji Xuan tugged at Ye Guan’s sleeve and shook her head.
Ye Guan looked at the old man. “My enemies are the An Family and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan. If those two clans come for me, will you help me withstand them?”
The old man was silent for a moment, then shook his head. “I cannot withstand them!”
Ye Guan smiled without speaking.
The old man’s expression was complicated. “I am very sorry, Young Master Ye Guan. It seems our academy is fated to have no connection with you!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Just do not come after me!”
The old man shook his head. “We have no intention of becoming your enemy. This time, we did not come to target the two of you!”
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xuan beside him. “Ji Xuan, the matter from back then has been investigated clearly by Dean Gu. He sent me this time to invite you back to the academy and overturn this wrongful case for you!”
Ji Xuan smiled. “And if I do not return?”
The old man said softly, “We will still overturn the case for you!”
Ji Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled. “I am used to being alone!”
The old man sighed softly.
Nearby, Ye Guan suddenly said, “Miss Ji Xuan, why not join our Dao Gate?”
Ji Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
The old man’s expression froze.
…
